Hark! The Angels Bright Are Singing

Hark! the an­gels bright are sing­ing

In the glo­ri­ous East­er sky:

Jesus from the grave has ris­en

Jesus now no more may die.

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

This is what the an­gels say;

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!

We will sing with them to­day.

Pilate’s sol­diers tried to keep

Jesus fast with­in the grave;

And they put a seal and stone

Upon the en­trance to the cave.

But when three days passed away

At the aw­ful mid­night hour

Jesus rose all glo­ri­ous­ly

By His own al­migh­ty pow­er.

We must die as Je­sus died

But we

too

from death shall rise;

Then with Him

if we are good

We shall reign be­yond the skies.
